Program Overview

Program Description:

Established in 1963, the Japan Study program is one of the oldest and most comprehensive programs in educational exchange and development linking colleges and universities in the United States and Japan. Based at Earlham College, Japan Study links member colleges of the Associated Colleges of the Midwest (ACM) and the Great Lakes Colleges Association (GLCA) with those of Waseda University in Tokyo, Japan. Full Year, Fall Semester, and Spring Semester options are available.

Japan Study enables students to become international citizens as they explore Japan in depth, build language skills, and experience Japanese culture. Living with a Japanese family, taking courses at Waseda University, and participating in a cultural practicum/internship offer different windows for experiencing and understanding the complex society of contemporary Japan.

There are eleven undergraduate schools offering courses leading to Bachelor's degrees; fourteen graduate schools for Master's and Doctor's degrees; numerous research institutes and other affiliated institutions.
